      But you cited ‘the news’ as a source. Lol. I didn’t even bother clicking your links when I first responded, but I went back and humored the idea that maybe it wasn’t… but really? cbsnews? Definitely a bastion of truth with no corporate sponsorship or interests…

        I didn’t cite “the news.” I have specific article that supported my point that Nazis/right-wing fascists are gaining power in the world.

        Are you saying those Nazi events didn’t happen?

          I was making fun of you for citing the news as a source. Do you consider soundbites facts as well?

            I was citing the news to show events that happened yes. No claims about that news was made. Are you saying those Nazi events didn’t happen?

            You are ignoring my questions because you know the answer. It’s why your talking about the validity of the source instead of the content of what I’m saying.

              Again trying to manipulate the context and yet you have yet to address the reason we’re even having this discussion: dogmatism. At this point you’ve quite brazenly displayed the behaviors I was getting at to begin with so I really don’t care, but since you seem to intentionally fail to understand most of the things I’ve said in an attempt to manipulate what the original intention of starting this conversation was about, I’ll revert to putting my response into a format more recognizable to you:

              I understand where your anger and frustration are coming from. The atrocities committed by the Nazis during the Second World War were horrific, and we must strive to prevent such inhumanity from ever happening again.

              However, it’s crucial to remember that fear and hatred rarely result in positive change. Instead, they often perpetuate a cycle of misunderstanding and conflict. The goal should not be to frighten people into silence but to educate and foster understanding. This is true even when dealing with individuals or groups whose views we find abhorrent.

              By encouraging open dialogue and critical thinking, we can expose harmful ideologies for what they are. Shining a light on these viewpoints, rather than pushing them into the shadows, allows society to address them directly. That being said, we should always stand firm against hate speech and actions that incite violence or discrimination.

              Lastly, it’s also important to consider the role of media and societal narratives in shaping our perceptions. While it’s crucial to stay informed, we should also be mindful of potential bias or sensationalism.

              The world isn’t always black and white, and the more we can encourage nuanced, empathetic discussions, the better we’ll be able to address the issues that face us.

              DW bro, Nazi’s bad. fnord.

                My grandfather who caught in WW2 would agree that we should make Nazis scared.

                And not a single thing you said here means anything because you’ve already been caught posting AI generated text to troll for and defend fascists. How in the world is this kind of behavior even allowed on the sub? Or the server?

                  Oh man “You’ve been caught using a tool to respond to people who would probably stick their thumb up their ass to get a better score on an IQ test.” So sad.

              For shits this is the equivalent of me saying: here go to this site. OMG BRO ARE YOU SAYING NAZI’s EXISTED? WTF. You’re not even paying attention to the content bro!~ (Ignoring that I own and have an agenda for the site of course, the same way you’re conveniently ignoring any agendas or the people spending money behind the spectacle you’re pointing at.)

              Nice edit again. Why did you even bother to pretend the last time you edited what you said that part of it was an edit and not include the other part you edited in as part of the edit? Lol. Sounds pretty dumb.
